Lislora woke from a terrible dream of clinging to her cousin and trying to hold him back while he tried to wade into a murky green river after Isonei. The Aran was being escorted by hooded men and no matter how Draeseth called after her she didn't turn. Trying to stop him from following was like stopping a charging bull.
Rubbing her face, it took a moment for the desperation of the dream to pass. Sighing, she spoke to herself under her breath, "Ganas help me if this dream repeats itself as well."
The faint sound of voices from beyond her bedroom door prompted her to get out of bed hurriedly and grab her robe. She was tying the belt as the door opened and her cousin came in with a faint smile. He was wearing his robe over what looked like his underlayers.
"Gentle morning, cousin. I wanted..." Draeseth noticed the box on her nightstand and reached for it.
"Cousin!" Lislora hurried forward as he opened it and looked at her with a frown.
"Who gave you this?"
"The maid." Flushing, she snapped the box closed nearly catching his thumb and tried unsuccessfully to yank it out of his hand. "I had-had asked her about something and she suggested these peculiar things. I haven't tried them yet. I'm not sure I want to."
His eyes began to glitter as he lifted it out of her reach. "What did you ask? I should be made aware if my wife is planning to put anything in her cunny that isn't my cock, woman."
She gave him a scathing look and he grinned wickedly at her.
"I can put you over my knees to loosen your tongue."
"You'll do no such thing!"
Laughing, he scooped her up as if she were as light as Isonei and she found herself over his knees in an instant. One hand groped and squeezed her covered cheeks before pulling her robe and nightdress up, the other pressed into her back keeping her in place.
"Tell me."
"Isonei may tolerate-"
He landed an almost playful smack and she could feel her entire body flush. "Tell me, woman."
Collecting herself, she decided to answer to keep him from doing that twice. "I asked what you meant when you said to-to draw you in with my-my cunny."
The groaning sound he made was one much like one he'd made in bed. His hand began rubbing and teasing between her thighs in her helpless position and she shivered.
"She explained how to use them?"
"Wash them and then-then they need to go inside. The hollow one goes first."
He made another pleased sound. "I should have made certain she'd already fetched the water before I sent her with the boy."
"You sent her somewhere?"
"To the other rooms. The boy was already dressed and Isonei is preparing to go to the Temple for the prayers." His fingers slipped inside and she made a small noise of pleasure without meaning to. "They will stay and pray with Krouth instead. I need to show my thoughtful Torgan wife the depths of my appreciation for her desire to please me."
It took a moment for her to put words together as he touched her. "Husband, you're all I-" His thumb touched a place that made her back arch and her words end in a whimper of pleasure.
Draeseth pulled his hand away and stood her up, kissing her hungrily before she could protest. "Let's find out if we have water." He began stripping himself as he went, glancing into the washing room at the dry basin and then making his way to the door, leaning out to bark at someone in the hall to have water and soap fetched.
"You nearly left the room half-naked!" Lislora gave him a scandalized look and he grinned, approaching her as he unfastened his pants.
"We'll both be naked when they bring the water, my flower."
She rushed back into the bedroom and he began to laugh loudly. He stripped himself of his pants before he entered the room kicking them out where the maids would see. "I understand now why it delighted Isonei when I was shy." Draeseth's broad grin as he came closer, his enormous cock bobbing in front of him made her feel as if she should be scolding him.
Lislora drew herself up and opened her mouth to do so but he managed to sweep her up and deposit her on the bed. The most she managed was a surprised squeak.
He pulled open her robe carefully as if unwrapping a gift, grinning down at her, and then tore the nightdress down the front.
Summoning her wits, she tried to frown at him, "That will become an expensive habit, cousin!"
"Not if you sleep as bare as I do," his face was flushed as he pulled her legs to his shoulders and began to kiss her ankles and calves.
"I'll sleep that way if you're here with me." Lislora didn't mean for the words to sound almost melancholy and she regretted saying them as he stopped his kissing and began rubbing her legs looking down at her thoughtfully.
"You didn't enjoy sleeping with me. You kept pushing me away."
"I've never liked being clung to at night and I didn't know you needed it, husband. I slept better next to you than I have in-in..." She sat up and ran her hand over her eyes. The torn nightdress and robe slipped down.
Gently, he pushed her back down and settled on top of her, kissing her face.
"I can try to become accustomed to it." Wrapping her arms around him felt comfortable.
"I had to do the same, but now I find I cannot sleep without being held." Draeseth pressed his face to hers. "We'll find a way to both sleep well and in the same bed if it means a great deal to you."
"It does."
Lifting his head, he began to smile wickedly again, "Perhaps this is a good time to teach you how to apologize properly."
"What do you mean by that, cousin?"
"Roll on your side." He pushed himself up and off with eagerness. "We can apologize at the same time."
She had to try not to laugh as he lay next to her the wrong way around and embraced her hips, wrangling her top leg under his arm. "What are you doing, cousin?"
Adjusting his hips, he rubbed his cock against her face and laughed in his throat using his top leg to try to pin her. "Apologize to me as I do the same."
His lips and tongue began to explore and tease her folds, occasionally sucking gently on them and she blushed, understanding him. If that was what he wanted... his cock was pressed to her cheek but his balls were nearly in reach. Carefully, she tried to arrange herself to imitate what he was doing, trying to suckle one into her mouth.
Groaning, he stopped what he was doing and panted against her sex, "Like that woman, yes. Stroke me with your hand..."
Obediently, Lislora stroked his cock as it lay against her face and he tried to grind himself against her. Working her other hand carefully into place despite the awkwardness of the position, she began to press and rub just behind his balls at the same time.
"Woman-"
The sound he made, an almost whimpering groan was so peculiar she paused.
"Don't stop!"
They both froze as they heard a familiar voice in the other room.
"Your Highness, why are the maids bringing water? The-" Krouth's voice sounded as if he stood in the doorway as it came to a sudden stop.
"Out!" Draeseth spoke sharply, "Have them leave the water and soap. We are not to be disturbed!"
There was no answer and her cousin slowly began disentangling himself as the sound of the outer door closing more firmly than necessary met their ears.
"Isonei says he doesn't interrupt me on purpose but I think the man has a talent for knowing when I'm enjoying myself and a need to put a stop to it."
She couldn't stifle her laughter as she sat up as well. "I'd suggest you make a small effort to be less indecent in your enjoyment, but I was enjoying it as well."
He gave her a broad grin, "I'll be as proper as you desire me to be outside of the bedroom, my Kros Voyeh, inside of it you'll have to endure the indecency."
Her face flushed as she returned his smile, "Indecency is permitted behind closed doors between husbands and wives, my joy." Lislora blinked as she realized the affectionate address had slipped out.
Draeseth looked startled for a moment and then broke into a genuine smile, "Your joy. It sounds different when you say it than it did when my mother called me that as a child." Pulling her close, he lay back with her onto the bed, "I like it."
"I've always called you 'cousin', it feels comfortable, but 'husband' feels right too, and you are my joy." She kissed him and reveled in the way it felt to have his hand moving over her skin. When he finally broke the kiss, she murmured, "You're all I could ever want."
"When you say such things, my flower, I want to take you home to the Kroscur and make certain no other men come near you. I don't want that to ever change."
Reaching up she stroked his hair, "No other man could ever persuade me. I'd freeze his blood with a look! Did you forget that your grandfather used to call me-"
"-The ice maiden!" Draeseth grinned and managed to press his face into her neck, "He said you'd either grow into a harridan or a good and proper wife." He began to laugh as she made an indignant sound, lifting his head, still grinning, "I'll make certain you're a good and proper wife."
"That would require you to be a good and proper husband!"
